Saturday, October 6th The Forge system of Uchoshi saw a fairly large conflict, at least for HighSec. Markeedragon, and his Borca Alliance have been wardec’ed and today they oversaw the defense of 5 Upwell structures.

When asked for comment on the current war Markeedragon stated, “Which one, we have 8?” A quick confirms there are 8 current wardecs, two set to expire today and 9 pending. A list of the wardecing parties is provided below.

“We are a community of noobs, defending our stations,” Markeedragon stated after the successful defense of a third station on stream.

Conflict Analysis

“Headshots” were the name of the attackers’ game. The first kill of the day was the pilot Markeedragon used to FC the defenses. When he stayed on gird the defense fleet had fairly decent success focusing targets and getting key kills. Between Markeedragon’s ship loses and refits the defense fleet seemed scattered. During the third station defense, the attackers switched to a primary “Headshots” design and Markeedragon’s low ehp fits didn’t help his staying time. The harsh tactic seemed to work for them, as the third station was the only one out of five the defense failed to repair.

Attackers weren’t the only one’s adapting tactics during the conflict. Talking about how neut bumpers are a great tactic as it allows the miners to help with little risk, Markeedragon called on his army of miners to lend some aid. Bumpers managed to push some of a few Leshaks out of range and forcing them to cycle their weapon damage back up. However, the Leshaks present were well tanked and none were lost. The Battle Report can be found here.

The ISK War

While today clearly favored the Defenders, 2.58 bil lost to 5.43 bil for the Attackers. When asked about the ISK side of the war Markeedragon said, “We have lost a station in this war, but we lost it while we were asleep.” Further investigation shows a close race, neither side has a running away lead. Discounting the lost of the Athanor lost without a fight (there were comments about timezone issues) only gives the Attackers a thin lead.

Thoughts?

Whether your a Markeedragon fan or not, would you like to watch this? HighSec seems to rarely get this level of conflict and I found it entertaining to watch, even if there were moments when I wanted to point out something the fleet was doing wrong. However, most of us can be guilty of armchair admiraling fights.

The attackers did message Markeedragon requesting 3 billion a month to leave his stations alone. He said no on stream, and was quickly send a new message upping the ransom to 25 billion a month. There was a lot of laughter followed, by another “no”.

Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established

very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick.
I’m thinking about making my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any tips or suggestions?

Someone essentially lend a hand to make critically posts I might state.

Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a hard time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

Thanks for all of your hard work on this web site. Gloria really loves getting into investigations and it’s really simple to grasp why. I notice all about the compelling way you create very important guidance by means of the blog and even foster contribution from some others about this point while our favorite daughter is now learning a great deal. Have fun with the rest of the new year. You have been conducting a stunning job.
